Richly imagined, an audaciously brilliant graphic novel adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet

Denmark is in turmoil. The palace is seething with treachery, suspicion, and intrigue. On a mission to avenge his father's murder, Prince Hamlet tries to claw free of the moral decay all around him. But in the ever-deepening nest of plots, of plays within plays, nothing is what it seems. Doubt and betrayal tormet the Prince until he is propelled into a spiral of unstoppable violence. In this sumptuous staging of Shakespeare's enigmatic play, Nicki Greenberg has created an extraordinary visual feast that sweeps us all in its path as the drama intensifies. An astounding work--unique, gripping, and as ever, tragic.
